Does it matter to associations?

• Yes, we expect our partners to be socially and environmentally responsible.

• Will it be a deciding factor? Probably not but, a negative record might eliminate a proposal

Social and Environmental Responsibility: as seen by a medical INGO.

•Green policies are good,

• Recycling materials, help associations collect materials

• Reducing waste

•And let people know

Social and Environmental Responsibility: as seen by a medical INGO.

• Environmental responsibility should also be reflected in the design

• Things that cannot be taken away

• LIVING ROOFS

• Using “grey water”

•Energy conservation systems

•F&B -- food wastage,

• how to better plan

• how to recoup food that as not been served

• very frequent concern of delegates, especially when we go to developing countries

• Environmental and social policies should also be inclusive of people

The building and surroundings should be fully accessible to all types of disabilities• Wheelchairs• People with difficulty walking• People with sensory disabilities

WHY?

• Many of the associations have members who are getting older

• Patients are becoming more involved

• Your staff should include people with disabilities, in the front of the house

Social and Environmental Responsibility: as seen by a medical INGO.

Your social policies should show you:

• Giving back to the community

• Are you engaged in a charity or cause in a meaningful way?

• Are you helping the local community?

Social and Environmental Responsibility: as seen by a medical INGO.

Your social policies should show you:

• Being a leader by actions, not just words

• Does you staff reflect the local workforce at all levels, including management?

• DO you have policies to govern your actions?

Social and Environmental Responsibility: as seen by a medical INGO.

Your social policies should show you:

• Sharing the values of your association partners by being involved in equality initiatives - a good corporate citizen

• Associations are diverse and some are driven by causes

• Certainly they have helping as a core value

•
